Solutions Engineer

Position Overview

As retail media networks scale, complexity increases. More stakeholders, deeper integrations, and more revenue tied directly to performance. What gets sold must launch successfully and continue to operate, optimize, and scale with precision.

At Vantage, Delivery is the transition from technical validation to operational reality. It is the process of architecting integrations that don’t just function, but actively drive optimized performance and scalable revenue growth.

We are seeking a bright, dynamic Solutions Engineer to join our team, where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping how retailers and brands adopt and maximize our platform. In this role, you'll combine technical expertise with sales acumen to create tailored solutions, ensuring smooth product demonstrations, complex integrations, and long-term client success within the rapidly evolving retail media landscape.

Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with prospects alongside our Sales leader, configuring demo environments that mirror the complexity of modern retail data, developing custom solutions, and contributing to Vantage’s roadmap as a technical expert and customer advocate.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Solution Design & Demo Setup: Configure and maintain demo environments that simulate real-world retail scenarios, including multi-channel campaign management and audience segmentation.
• Software Demonstrations: Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) during technical deep-dives, specifically addressing how our solution integrates with existing retail tech stacks (e.g., CDPs, POS systems, and e-commerce platforms).
• Technical Discovery: Partner with Sales to identify prospect pain points regarding closed-loop attribution, brand safety, and margin transparency.
• Solution Architecture: Design architectures that minimize custom work while maximizing the flow of data between on-site search, off-site programmatic, and in-store digital touchpoints.
• RFP & Documentation: Lead the technical response for RFPs, providing clarity on data privacy compliance (GDPR/CCPA) and clean room capabilities.

Qualifications

• Technical Expertise: Proficiency in Python/React is preferred. You should be comfortable working with APIs and SQL to manipulate retail datasets for proof-of-concept (POC) builds.
• Retail Media Mastery: Deep understanding of the RMN ecosystem, including the nuances of on-site vs. off-site advertising, sponsored products, and display.
• AdTech & Programmatic Knowledge: Strong grasp of DSPs, SSPs, and how retail data is leveraged for high-performance programmatic targeting.
• Data & Measurement Fluency: Familiarity with attribution modeling (ROAS/iROAS), clean room environments (Snowflake, AWS), and the challenges of identity resolution in a cookieless world.
• Client-Facing Experience: Ability to translate "technical speak" into business value for retail executives and brand managers alike.
• Solutions Design: Experience designing SaaS or AdTech solutions specifically for high-volume retail environments.
• Problem Solver: Resourceful when tackling integration hurdles between legacy retail systems and modern cloud architecture.
